Discussions are also under way over personal terms for the Netherlands international.
Liverpool are on the verge of signing Bradley Barcola from PSG for £106m rising to £123m.
Manchester City allowed Savio and Omar Marmoush to join Tottenham earlier month, reducing Enzo Maresca's options on the wing.
City did not name a single winger on their bench in Friday's win over Crystal Palace and started with Phil Foden - who Enzo Maresca admitted is not a winger - out wide at Selhurst Park.
Jack Grealish is of interest to Everton and Sunderland - he is believed to prefer a return to the Toffees - and was absent against Palace, further reducing their options in that area.
Liverpool are set to sign Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain before Tuesday's deadline, while Victor Munoz arrived from Osasuna earlier this summer.
Spurs also targeted Gakpo in this window before signing Savio and Marmoush.
